Sidesafari is updated by adding Safari View Controller extension

sidefari

side safari It is a very interesting application. On the iPad it allows you to have two instances of Safari running in split screen at the same time, something that is not possible even on the iPad Pro with iOS 9. Its function is basically to be able to open the View controller Safari from any application, even if it does not have a browser available by default. In this way, we bypass one of Apple's restrictions without the need to jailbreak our device.

The good thing about Sidesafari, especially in the case of the iPad (iOS 9 or higher) is that View Controller is a native Safari instance, so it has access to our passwords, the Reader, content blockers or Safari extensions. Sidesafari thus share the design and safety Apple's native browser, while also allowing other things like holding down on the address bar to copy the URL (something I miss in Tweetbot's browser, for example).

Yesterday, Cantu updated Sidesafari with iPhone support and other minor improvements to the iPad. In the case of the iPhone, the application offers an extension that will allow us to open any type of link in Safari's View Controller from any application, which can come in handy in applications such as the official Twitter application. As for the iPad, two new features have been added: the address bar now also works like Google search, so we can write what we want to search in it and we can also configure a home page to open it with an icon from the main view.

The two novelties of the iPad are useful and will help us save a little time while providing us with comfort, so it could be a must have for users who use the iPad to do certain jobs.
